1993 camry running rough

Hi, My 1993 camry idles with a miss. I have changed plugs. wires. cap, rotor and fuel filter. I bought a low mileage engine from Japan and changed over intake , alternator, distributor , and everything else we had to. The car ran like new after we ran it about 20 miles after installing. We drove the car for about 3 weeks when suddently it started this missing problem. The car really runs bad when I am driving about 30mph the car shakes really bad. I have a few more ideas of what may be the problem but cannot afford to try misdiagnose problem anymore. The interior light dims when I apply brakes too. I believe it could be an alternator issue. I also considerd the ignition coil may be bad. Please help. Thanks.

Make sure you don't have a faulty fuel injector, this may be the cause, also use a can of carb spray and spray around the intake gasket to check for leaks, if one is present you will notice a diff in the engine sound when the spray hits it.

1993 c1500 with 350 engine - runs rough right above idle

Ok first question. Did you install an AC Delco fuel pump? If not, change the pump. Other pumps do not maintain the pressure that is required by the system. You say you have installed a new disturber, insure you are time installed correctly. Rough running usually is a vacuum leak, usually you can find it by spraying cab. cleaner around the intake manifold and components. Hope it helps

1993 gmc sierra 4wd 5.7L running rough mostly during low rpm, hesitates, then smooths out. Problem is becomming more prevalent, wider rmp range. New plugs, wires, cap, rotor, fuel filter. Still happening.

timing might be off a little...or your low idle control might not be functioning. try unhooking your idle control module on throttle body, if it doesnt change idle when you disconnect it, its faulty.
